Died c. 695. Four or five saints of this name are listed in different menologies, but their lives are hopelessly confused. This one, often confused with Saint Modwenna of Polesworth, seems to be one of the more important ones. This Modwenna succeeded Saint Hilda as abbess of Whitby (Attwater, Benedictines).
